Reading this is like watching the old Alfred Hitchcock movies or the X-files in Victorian Era. Mysteries, Mysticism, Crime Investigation, Truth Finding, and such. Finding a chinese based fantasy novel that focused on mysticism and mystery, instead of cultivation- martial arts is like a fresh breath. Touche. Keep up the good work.
